POLITICAL ITEMS. The Democrats of York, Pa , fired 100 guns on Saturday, in honor of their success in In- diana and Pennsylvania On Friday the Democrats of Newburyport, Mass., celebrated their victory ia Pennsylva- nia by an illumination of their head-quarters. Mr. Buskirk, one of the Buchanan electors in Indiana, has made one bandred and thirty speeches in that State during the present cam- Parga. Senator Sumner, we hear, was again ip this immediate vicinity on the day before yester- day. Poor man, he will get no better until after the Presidential election day, we pre- sume. The New Yerk Courier and Enquirer (Fre- mont) says that Francis (iranger, and other late Fillmore men from New York, are op- Rong all union, and they talk openly for cBbaban. Senator Pearce of Lair! smog is now on the stump, on the Eastern Shore. His published Sppointments number some six or seven, which will ali be attended doubtiess by immense crowds of citizens of his section of the State. who very justly revere and confide in bim as in few other public men of this day and generation. William A. Howard addressed a fusion mass meeting, the other day, at Grass Lake, and the living skeleton which was exhibited in this city a short time sgo, supposing there would be a crowd, exhibited himself there in atent. Some persons in the aring the noise of adrum and fife, as they approached the place, were anxious to know what was going on, when an old lady, resident there, told them that a “feller named Howard, from Detroit, was a showin’ a live skeleting,’’ aud the believed they called it the ‘‘ Fremount party.” She had, apparently, got things “mixed.

While awaiting the departure of the Hudson R R. train, a number of citizens bad opportunity to speak with Col. F.; and when the cars left, the crowd set ups cheer. There was some doubt at firet as to which Fremont our visitor was, but as be took off his hat it was plain to in the said, “‘ that is the Fre- to prove to reasoning men that no confidence whatever is to be placed in his politic assevera- tions that he has not become every whit ag portant facts and | vehement an abolitionist as the blackest free than any negro among them all. We also endeavored to make plain the hellowners of his plea that he aims but to secure ‘‘ Kansas to freedom” for the benefit of the laboring white man: in- stancing among other arguments. the fact that no one can be the honest friend of the labor- jog man who, for the miserable and mean pur- pose of getting revenge becauee his old politi- cal friends had scen fit (after gorging him to repletion with weelth) to substitute such an able and faithful soldier in the cause asthe late venerable Thomas Ritchie in his stead, would strive to bring into power a party that could not possibly attempt to wield the gov- ernment without bringing about a disruption of the Union, as he knew well; which, in turn, would destroy more especially the pros- pects and the value of the property of the la bering white men by whom he (Blair) is sur- rounded, who are so near the present seat of government and al:most immediately on a non- slaveholding State border. We said also, that arguments upon the ques- tion of slavery, euch as he was industriously disseminating,: are calculated not only to ren- der property, out life itself, insecure in Mary- land, because their tendency is to unsettle society there, to render the slaves discon- tented, to encourage them to run off and also to play the game of murder and arson upon the families of their owners, to which they are so carnestly invited by Wendell Phillips, Fred Douglass, Bob Purvis, and tens of thou- sands of Mr. Blair’s brother Fremonters. We said, finally, that Mr Blair’s political deeds spoke louder than his anti-abolition protesta- tions; and that sensible people, therefore, could not fail to comprehend the fact that, take him and bis works allin all, ke was about the most dangerous man to the peace and fa- ture prospects of the State of Maryland we knew of, Lioyd Garrison and Jusbua R. Uid- dings notexcepted. We said, too, that though we gave him credit for the exhibition of capi- tal taste in fancy farming, and a laudable aw- bition toearn something of honest fame by expending on agricultural experiments a por- tion of the immense income for which he is indebted wholly to the mistaken favor of those he has for years past been hunting with a byena’s ferocity, our intimate kaowledge of his past career as a public men, as well as of made us regard his as the most re- markable oase of political depravity and utter selfishness that ever came to our knowledge. - Now, we appeal to his pamphlet, nominally in answer to these points of ours then and there made, as positive proof of the truth of all wo said concerning his recent political It is und . He does not stood the Culone! bas been on a visit for po aie passe “ ee re ear tL Ne ae- tempt to refute one of these well known truths concerning his history and the character and tendency of his present political assogiations and labors; but, instead, has written » long argument designed to aid the cause of Aboli- tionism, by dividing the whites of the South into classes, and playing upon the passions of those whom he, Seward, Fred Do lingame, Greeley & Co., are now endeavoring to press into service to fight their abolition battles on southern soil. His impudent as- sumption that his presence—residence—at Silver Spring for sixteen years has been the cause of the great inosease of the value of real estate in that section of the county of Mont- gomery, Maryland, is worth no more than would be aclaim on our part that our resi- dence at Spring Farm for the past six years has caused real estate in that portion of the county of Alexandria, Va., to increase in value 300 per centum, as it has done in that time. Nor is his plea that ten of those citizens whom he has employed at Silver Spring from first to last have become land holders because Ae employed them, worth more than would be a similar plea that such of our employees of the same sort, who are thrifty men, owe a debt of gratitude to us for their present better position in life, as owners of the soil Thank God, at the South any thrifty man may be- come a land bolder more easily than at the North. We also thank God because white labor at the South, whether mechanical or of any other description—of brain or of hands— is better paid in the aggregate than anywhere else on this continent; and because no white ian at the South owns a master; there being no such thing known from Mason’s and Dixon's line to the Gulf of Mexico as an employer's saying to a white man— Vote according to my polities, or I will stop your bread on the day after the election’’—which to our own knowledge was said to fifteen men in Lewis- town, Pennsylvania, on the Saturday before the recent State election, by the manager of a neighboring iron works; the said manager being @ political friend of Fred Douglass, Francis P. Blair, Bob Purvia & Co. We credit Mr. Blair for a display of Lis well known talent as a controversial writer in getting up bis pamphlet in question, but car- not for the life of us perceive how his been witticisms, levelled against what he profceses to believe to be the worship of ‘* Buck’s horns’’ by bis Democratic neighbors, can justify his own demoniac worship of ‘‘ the Woolly horse” in the midst of a slaveholding community. with its porsible consequences to the property and lives of his neighbors if be and his fellow- worshippers of that strange deity ehould tri- umph in November; which, thanks to Peon- sylvania and Indiana, is now utterly impossi- ble, even if every Fremont manager of every iron work in the Union shall threaten to take away the bread of every man employed under him unless they vote the abolition ticket on the 4th of November. We trust that his pamphlet will be univer- sally circulated throughout the South, be- cause we are well aware that every man therein who knows anything, will realize at once that his arguinents in justification of his political labors in behalf of Messrs. Seward, Fred Douglass, Bob Purvis, Giddings & Co. are a tissue of slanders against all the whites of all the elaveholding States, evidently for the consumption of Northern readers. Against the non-slaveholders, whom ho seeks to repre- sent as ignorant, brutal, slavish, &c; and against those holding slaves, whom he repre- sents as laboring to keep them (the non-slave- holders of the South,) ignorant, brutal, slavish, &co, &c, for selfish ends. We repeat, wo want no better evidence of the truth of all we felt it to be our duty to say in that speech with reference to Mr. Francis P. Blair and his present political labors in striving to make ene portion of his neighbors undying enemies of ancther portion of them, than he has voluntarily accorded in the pam- phlet that is the subject of these comments. Rats Deserting the Falling House.—The New York Hera/d is evidently crawling over to tho Democratic side as fast as possible, now that Pennsylvania and Indiana have settled the Presidential contest. It not only scores its so recent friends Greeley, Seward, Thurlow Weed & Co. without mercy, but its late greatest statesman the world ever pro- duced—George Law. Making a very late oratorical effort of that gentleman delivered in the New York Academy of Music the sub- ject of its criticism, it now characterizes him as the most essential fool who ever mistook his calling, and as having been nothing more since he entered politics, than a fat goose plucked by any and all ecamps who chose to take his money in return for professing to believe him @ great man, &c. In a few paragraphs the Herald thus stzips George Law of all the bor- rowed plumes with which it has been deco- rating him for some months past, until it made him appear to men of sense and experience in life who knew him, as the merest harlequin of the age. We know not what’s in the wind between Bennett and Law; but we do know that there is more truth in what the Herald says in exposition of the ridiculous character of L ’s political aspirations than we had pre- viously seen for many months in that shect. What that journal also says, in its issue of Sunday last, of the published lives of Fre- mont, is not lesstrue. They did form the staple of many of the most effective comments of the Democratic speakers in Pennsylvania, because all written of him in those biographies that was true went to prove, incontestibly, that he is wholly unfit to be made the Presi- dent of the United States; while what they contained that waa untrue, was easily proved to be so. As his biographers strove to make him appear, he is by no means the man to be entrusted with the destinies of the United States; and all patriotic aud sensible persons in Pennsylvania quickly comprehended the fact, under the comments upon the biographies in question made by the oraturs on the Demo- cratic side Candid, if unaniablsa.—The New York Herald of Sunday is an emusing journal— very. It gives up the contest fully, fairly, and squarely, announcing that afer the result of the recent Indiana and Pennsylvania State ciections no combinations that the Fremonters and Fillmourners can make, can by any possi- bility prevent Buchanan and Breckinridge from receiving a clear majority of all the elec- toral votes! This is candid, to say the least on’t. But in the same article Mr. Fremoni’s Mioister-to France-in expectancy charges that the defeat of his cause in Indiana and Penn- sylvania is faily attributable to secret treach- ery on the part of Senator Seward, Thurlow Weed and their friends—how, he explains. He also contends that Mr. Fillmore and his friends in those States are laboring actively with the view of electing Mr. Buchanan, and that they labored only to that end in tho re_ cent canvass in Pennsylvania! “ When ——— fall out,” &c.

At a Mormon meeting lately held at Copen- hagep, a Jew hawker, after listening to pe with great attention, cried ‘I abjure Judaism and embrace the worship of the Latter Day Saints ’’ He was at once accepted. He then got up and proposed the abolition of polyga- my, which is authorized by the sect. An an- gry discussion ensued. The Jew was warmly supported by several women of the lower classes, and the Mormons were backed by the men. “If wo abolish polygamy,” cried a jovial butcher, “we shall never make an more proselytes, for that is the bait at which people bite.’’ polygamy is abolished,”’ shouted a shriveled tailor, ‘I will abandon Mormonism at once I only adopted it in or- der to be able to marry as often as I liked.” These declarations were received with shouts of derision from the spectators in the galleries. A letter from Jerusalem, of a recent date, in the Augsburg Gazette, says: ‘‘In digging out the foundations of a house which is being built in this city for the Austrian Catholic clergy, the workmen discovered at a depth of abont fifteen feet from the surface sevoral sub- terranean rooms, the walls of which are of hewn stone, and the floor of mosaic. The most important part of the discovery is, however, a grotto cut out in the rock, and supported by five columns.” The North Briton, of Scotland, says: “We believe there has been more excitement among the booksellers to secure an early supply ot “« Dred’’ than was ever known before ate t any book. In fact, so much is this the case, that twoStirling booksellers have nearly gone tc fisticuffs about the matter. We understand that nearly 8,000 copies have already passed through the hands of an Edinburgh bock- seller.’” in GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE GuorGetown, Oct 21, 1856 A called meeting of our City Councils was held last night, and the following business had under consideration Several communications were received from the Mayor in regard to the improvement of streets, enclosing plats of the same, the ac- counts of James F. Essex, &c, all of which were appropriately referred. A communication was read from Charles Trunnell and cthers, remonstrating against the improvement of a part of Fayette street, and asking that the ordinance providing for the same be repealed ; referred. A communication was received from Mr. John Blackford, remonstrating against the reckless conduct ot police officer Thomas, in endangering his life by shooting his valuable dog, while the animal was closely following him along Bridge street st an early hour of the night; referred to police committee. An elaborate and able report was received from Recorder Ould, upon the new election law, accompanied by an ordinance providing for the levying of a school tax, the extension of the right of suffrage, the registration of vo- ters, the dividing of the town into two wards. &c. The report and ordinance was read, and the clerk ordered to have one hundred copies of the a ts and act of Congress printed for the use of the corporation. The Board of Aldermen passed several bills providing for the improvement of streets, for erecting a railing on the north side of the eastern abutment of the bridge, the improve- ment of the foot ways on the north side of Water street, dc Both Boards then, on motion, adjourned until next Friday night, when the report of the Recorder upon the new election law will be discussed and acted upon. A most reckless piece ef conduct was per- petrated by a yellow fellow named John John- son, in the College walks on Sunday last, which came near maiming for life or killing one of the lay brothers residing at the College John- sop, it appears, (contrary to the rules of the College) was gunning on the College grounds ; and while the lay brother, before mentioned, was passing along one of the walks, Johnson fired at a bird, and the brother received a portion of the charge of shot in his head and face. Fortunately for him, however, the shot took effect in parts not easily to be seriously effected.
